“An Oregon Man Was Wrongly Imprisoned for Almost a Year Because of an Error in a DMV Database”
Why would any conservative (still) live in Oregon?
And yet in her capacity to correct it, she did nothing.
Throw her in jail
It’s the DMV. He would have waited in line that long anyway.
who cares? He’s not Nelson Mandella.
Not just the data error with the DMV. I’m having trouble with the punishment being 11 months in prison for driving with a suspended license. Is there more to this case than just the bad data record saying he was driving with a suspended license?
Now that’s funny!
Thank you for the LOL.
Well, he’s owed about 10 million dollars.
My Oregon is gone. It’s hell in this state. They won’t lock up murderers or dare jail an illegal alien.
Sounds like a 2021 boot on your neck to me. Hopefully the left recognizes they are coming for them now.
I had to deal with a ticket (I paid for) issued in Washington state while on active duty there. Two years later I’m in Florida WITH an in state florida drivers license AND my original Massachusetts drivers license got pulled over officer says my drivers license is suspended from Washington...took years to straighten out ...do you think I drove ( had to in order to exist,no one pays my way. I do not consider driving to be a privilege.
Never plead out if you’re not guilty.

Well,Auntie; I’ve seen a HELL of a lot worse data errors in the IAFIS database that resulted in a totally innocent man thrown in jail for probation violation for over a year—— on a records error when he had never even been arrested. He’d still be there if his mother had not called me.
Not where I live. Last time I went into DMV, which was last November, I was in and out in seven minutes. It took that long to process my application for title, registration and license plate for my new travel trailer. It cost me $90 and the registration is permanent, so Alaska will never get another penny from me for this trailer as long as I own it. Seven minutes is a record for me, but I'm usually in and out in 15 minutes or less. And it's all walk-in first come first served, no appointments.
This is typical government.
Similar situations have happened to me in Minnesota.
Arrested once, but both times the state recognized that it was because the database wasn’t updated.
SMH...
vEen as insane as Oregon is, why is merely driving on an actual suspended license a prison serving offense? (unless there is a whole lot more to the story).
And why would the guy plead guilty when he is the victim of a bureaupathic error? (unless there is a lot more to the story.)
.
Really.
How much is a year of your life worth?
Let me guess, he voted for a republican.
